Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 thats exactly what I said. I could not tell you one horse he trained that was worth anything. Below average driver if I remember correctly. Shit gotta blow up somewhere in mile for him to win

Didn’t he train for Larry Baron?

In any case, he’s had 7 drives this year, currently at Scioto. No training listed this year.

Post by: Ohracing on May 30, 2025, 09:20:48 PM: he is taking over the training on the Bet the house LLC horses previously trained by Jeff smith. I heard yesterday that the Bet the house people told Jeff smith he had 30 days to be gone. You will see those horses scratched at Scioto downs that were and are in to go.
